From Krakowskie Przedmieście you can see the Krakow Gate It was formed after the terrible invasion of the Tatars in 1341 It was decided to encircle the city with defensive walls after this tragedy and to supply them with gates. It was built in Gothic style In the beginning was the only entrance gate

Merchants took care of it. They were supposed to provide the tower with cannons and gunpowder.
During Old Polish period, thick church candles were being made inside of this tower
In the XVI century, Lublin was influenced by
Renaissance architecture and became modern, and more beautiful.
The greatest sculptors and decorators, who
were mostly italian, took part in the rebuilding of them.
Tenements had residential nature. Most of the owners were building new
tenements, which were decorated with renaissance sculpture, which was architectural detail.
The church is one of the oldest Baroque buildings, apart from the ones that were built in Italy
Facade of a church, originally built in Rennaisance-Baroque style, has been influenced by many different periods in art
In the XVIII century, the church was ruined, and in the XIX century was renovated
In 1823, the church started to function as a cathedral
A unique acoustic chapel can be found there

a small elevation so called dominican hill.

architectural style, so called Lublin
many characteristic features of late Rennaisance left.
Relics of the Holy Cross used to be located in
this church.
Po Farze Square is one of the oldest places in
Old Towin in Lublin kryjącym remmants of the medieval buildings of the city.
This is where the church of Saint Michael was
built in the past, which was first parish in Lublin.
It was one of the most important elements
shaping landscape of the city.
Today, the fundations which were elevated in
2001-2002 are an evidence of its existence.
Łokietka Square’s localization, at a time of its
creation, was at the entrance to the city
It used to function as a marketplace Its origins date back to 1611, when Sigismund III
agreed to remove fortificationsn and to fill moats in front of Krakowska Gate

numerous changes of an appearence and functions of buildings

hall.

The route was created as a result of linking numerous basements of Old Town. Corridors merged and in such a way an underground labyrinth was created underneath the city.
The route has a touristic and educational nature
A tour through this route may bring a lot of emotions, because it allows you to go back in time and discover the past of the city

times.

The castle has been constructed on a rectangular
plan with internal courtyard. Elements that are characteristic for neo-Gothic style can be seen on the facade, for example pointed window frames.
The most valueable monument is Holy Trinity Chapel

coexistence in harmony of two religions – Roman Catholic and Orthodox – in the Kingdom of Poland.
There is a tower on the castle courtyard which also has
a viewing platform.
